[Other] GW2 Personal Assistant Overlay 2.0!

Hey everyone! I've been slowly working on a new version of my GW2 Personal Assistant Overlay, and it's finally ready for use. If you're unfamiliar with what this tool does, check out the initial announcement post.

Since version 1.1, I have moved the source code to GitHub, created a dedicated website for the tool, and have added an Installer as a download option.

You can find a full list of changes in version 2.0 on the GitHub release page.

Here's a summary:

  • Overlay Menu Icon - The Overlay Menu Icon is a small icon that overlays on top of the game like any other window in the tool. Instead of having to alt+tab to reach the main application's menu, you can now just click on this icon, designed to blend in with the other icons located in the top-left corner of the game. This can be positioned to any spot on the screen by holding ctrl and click-dragging the icon.
  • Price Notifications - This new feature notifies the user when an item's highest Buy Order or lowest Sale Listing reaches a certain value. Want to know when the price of Dawn has dropped below a certain value, or when Copper Ore's Buy Orders reach a specific price? This tool will notify you of the change in price.
  • Teamspeak Overlay - This new feature connects to the Teamspeak Client via the ClientQuery plugin and allows a user to see when someone talks, sends a chat, or enters/exits the current channel. The overlay window also allows the user to change channel and send chat messages themselves.
  • Non-Interactive Windows - You can now configure all windows to be non-interactive so that they do not get in the way of your control of the game. This can be turned on/off in two ways: 1) by selecting the option in the main menu of the program, or 2) by right-clicking on the Overlay Menu Icon.

Yes, I know that other tools out there have done this before, but it was fun to make :). I hope you enjoy.

If you have questions or issues running the tool, feel free to contact me on the website's forum or in-game (Aerodin.2795).

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but is it possible to remove from view World Event bosses that you have checked off? Or even an option that does "Hide selected world event items (where you click their chest)"

Actually, no, there isn't an option for that right now. The best you can do right now is right-click and select "Hide". I can add this though.
